I read this morning that the US is shutting down its embassy in VC, its future business to be conducted by separate offices at the embassy to Italy in Rome.
Conservatives are denouncing the move as an insult.
Reagan established formal diplomatic relations with the Vatican in 1984.
That was an historic first and a ludicrous affront both to secularism and to reality.
You don't need an embassy to an insignificant city state.
RR was sucking up to the Catholic vote.
Obama is not going so far as to formally dissolve diplomatic relations with the Vatican.
But this is a step in that direction.
